Death Can Be So Sweet

In my world death can be so sweet
dancer and drummer intune to a beat
hanging around a chocolate tree
an a licorice noose to hang thee
my 9mm glock is locked up tightly
not made by smith n wesson but nestle
the broth of the midnight rider
is laced and deadly apple cider
the billy club ample and thick
is but a really tough chico stick
those tar n feather never as handy
but hot caramel n cotton candy
cement shoes to weigh you down
replaced with a brownie richly brown
as I said and will say again
in my world death can be so sweet
